It has been way too long...I am tired

I am tired, so I hope this all comes out right.  I guess I can always edit later.  Here it goes....

I am grateful....

I am grateful for Stay Sexy Thursdays.  When the week is pluggin' along and I start thinking my stock is plunging, there is always Stay Sexy Thursday to remind me that I'm awesome and that whether in sweats, puffy eyes, and a quart of ice cream, or in my sexy top the boys like, and those jeans that make my butt look grab-uh-liscious, I am sexy inside and out.

I am grateful for my job of ten years where I have gained more than just employment.  My "boss" is not only my supervisor, but my friend, confidant, father figure, and was sometimes also my bishop and spiritual adviser.  I am in a safe, happy workplace and you can't get paid enough to tempt me to go someplace else.

I am grateful for knowledge and a desire to gain more, and to seek to act in wisdom.  By the power of Greyskull (He-Man reference), I will someday be able to impart my knowledge to others while seeking higher education to become a teacher.

I am grateful for my talents that I am able to nurture, and share, and hone the skills necessary to perfect my talents for the benefit of helping others.

I am grateful for Love, in its various forms.  Love has the power to forge new life, to heal, to impart upon others, to be felt in one's soul in a way that can only be understood in those quiet, solitary moments; most importantly, love has the power to increase in capacity.  There is always room to love more than what we think we are capable.  I'm grateful for that unique and special trait of love.
